Ya know, I have completely lost count how many of these medication ads are on TV for the diabetes pen.God, I have such a DEEP hatred for all of these these commercials.

"Oh...oh...oh." And I guess the new trend is taking popular 1970s-80s tunes and slapping them into these horrific ads. (ex. "Dance With Me", "Go Your Own Way", "Magic", etc etc) Such brilliant minds who create this slop.

My brother and I made fun of this song by replacing the lyrics "It's Magic" with "It's My Dick"

Kind of makes sense to spend a lazy day in bed with "my dick."

It's magic you know...

On a side note, where the hell do pharmaceutical companies get the brand names for their drugs? Granted, there are other types of products with trade names chosen for reasons that only the companies can understand. However, I can't recall a prescription drug equivalent to Head & Shoulders shampoo, Wheaties cereal, etc.

When I was a pharmacology graduate student, Viagra was years away and the closest thing to an FDA-approved boner booster was Yocon (yohimbine), and a subject of adolescent humor among us. I drew up a parody advert for an imaginary brand of yohimbine called Upandcumming. I'll have to put it on the creative forum.

EDIT: I almost forgot - the "manufacturer" of my spoof brand was Hardon Pharmaceuticals in Tightfly, New Jersey. (Yocon's mfr. is/was headquartered in Tenafly, N.J.)

I keep encountering 3rd graders who sound smarter than most ad writers.

Oh, you're damn right you will, Mister!!!!

You damned well better!!!!

I wanna see that!!!

Great news guys.... With the Air Hawk, flat balls are no longer a problem!!!

I am okay with the senior citizens of the band 'Pilot' getting some ad $$$ BUT this will present itself as super friggin ANNOYING soon enough

IF they even get anything and IF they still own any rights to it.

Being a true "one hit wonder" band, they may well have sold the rights to it decades ago.

OR been swindled out of any rights at the get go by a 'manager'...or maybe its gone to public domain

Yet with the amount of old crap songs that pop up in ads today..theres probably some easy cash being made..like the friggin Outfield on that detergent ad

They probably did OK in the music business. First came the Bay City Rollers (the two main guys), then Pilot, then 10cc, the Alan Parsons Project, work with Elton John and Rick Wakeman. Pilot had like 5 studio albums. One of 'em died of AIDS in the 80s.

Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know more about this band than I ever cared to.

Lotsa these one-hit wonders have had otherwise pretty successful careers in the music biz. I dunno why, but I recently looked up Albert Hammond (It Never Rains in Southern California). Holy sh*t!! He wrote music for a lotta big names, and some pretty big hits. He's also put out 20-something albums of his own, though mostly in Spanish.

Later on, I'm gonna have to listen to his 1974 single "I Don't Wanna Die In an Air Disaster".
